Public Space Protection Orders

Tackling anti-social behaviour in the community

The Anti-Social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced new powers for Councils to tackle Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB).

PSPOs are designed to ensure the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces without experiencing anti-social behaviour.
